of Bayou st. John, Just in the rear
of the Bienville draining machine. he
noticed a neatly dressed white man ON
the other side of the bayou. The man
after looking around for awhile sat down
ON the bank and took a book and some
paper from his pocket and began writing
letter, which he inclosed in an envel-
ope. He then laid his hat beside him
and placed this letter and a number of
others in it and then deliberately jumped
in the canal and Is drowned before the
old colored man could reach him.
The hat and its contents were taken
charge of by the colored man, who con-
veyed them to- the Fourth Precinct Sta
ton, and from there they We're trans
ferred to the Suburban Station.
The hat contained the initials of
the deceased i'm gilt letters, q. A. F.
The letter written ON the hank was
directed To his cousin. Gus. j. Freret. la

The Putnam House has entertained
during the season just closed six thous-
sand, nine hundred and seventy-three
guests, a marked increase over the bust
ness of the previous season. These peo-
pie come here from all parts of the
world, and that they were delighted is
proven by the fact that they renamed

the house is very well satisfied with the
seasons business. as indeed he has good
cause for being, as the Putnam was one
ut the most popular and crowded hotels
of the State during the winter.

CITY NOTES.

Our city hotels continue to- have large
lists of arrivals daily, and report good
business.
The vegetable and flower gardens in
the city are looking very fine since the
recent rains.
There are more pets in Palatka than in
any other city of it's size we know of.
There is hardly a family that does not
own a bird, squirrel or some such thing.
The schooner Marcus Edwards, of the
Warren Ray Line, will leave New York
direct for Palatka on the ed inst, when
she will bring a cargo of general mer-
chandise. consigned to Capt. r. j. Adj
ans, agent of the line.
Mr.. r. j. Rifles, the good looking and
enterprising jeweler, has just added a
large lot of new goods to- his stationery
department, which his customers are in
vited to inspect. The stock was selected
with great care, and Bob proposes to sell
it cheap.
We are requested by the committee of
the Old Folks Concert to state that a
unanimous vote of thanks was rendered
Mr.. Cook Carleton for the use of the
Opera House for the rehearsals for the
concert. We learn that the concert
Melted more than 800 for the benefit of

All the dry goods and shoe stores in
town closed last night at $3.50 O'Clock, as
per agreement signed few days since.
These stores will be closed every evening

The water pipe on Front street, of the
Palatka Water-works Company, burst
yesterday afternoon about 4 O'Clock, at
the junction of Front and Adams streets.
The water rushed up in great volume,
and soon washed out big hole and
ditch through the roadway. 1t was
allowed to run about an hour, when il
was shut off. Ii will be repaired inn
mediately. The break is thought to have
been caused by flaw in the pipe, as
there was no extra pressure of water at
the time
